    Dumke,

    I will take some pictures this weekend and post them up. I'll have to do a quick wash down of the front end as it has been snowing here in Colorado and my baby is absolutely CRUMMY.
    I still haven't found a gasket material to put around the lights to really seat them into the opening in the front cladding, but they really don't look too bad right now. I have the blue angel eye, and it looks really cool at night, but I keep waiting for the cops to pull me over.
    As I said earlier; to get them in I had to cut the mounting flange for the stock lights out, so now I can't go back unless I get a new front cladding.

    OK asking for more can I get a nigth and day pic plz course night with lighst on . As for the cops issue. And someone that knows more can chim in and not sure if laws different in different areas but, a patrol cop friend here in frt worth said its a big misconception<sp> that you cant have lighst on your car. He has even gone to his cop buddies who have writen tickets. he said per the book it doesnt matter what lighst you have you just cant have flashing blue or red lights. You can have solid, or flashing lights of other colors just not those two. We had a long extensive convo about it but I am sure someone will straighten me out here or give more insight.

    Dumke,

    Got to take some pictures of the angel eyes this weekend so take a look at the pictures below. It was snowing so there may be some flakes in the way, but I think you can get the picture. The angle eyes themselves are hooked up to the wiring for the old running lights, so they come on with the marker lights. I suppose that I could have hooked them up to a switch so they could come on separately, but I didn't. The fog lights ARE hooked up to a factory fog light switch in the dash (didn't take a picture of that), and work fairly well. I still need to aim them a little better, but for now they light up the road ahead pretty well.

    Hope this helps.

    Pepino,

    I'm not terribly electrically inclined either, but the install wasn't too bad. The ones that I bought where actually from AutoX (I think) and the instructions where a little cartoonish and vague but relatively easy to follow. If you install per the instructions it shouldn't be a big deal, but I complicated mine by also installing Moncha's auxiliary fuse box and hooking the whole kit and kaboodle to an Isuzu fog light switch. I figure if I can get through it, then you should be just fine. Just take your time and try to diagram it out first because I know that helped me.

    Pepino,
    If you do get the 'autopia' lites remember the the "advertised" ones for the VX are too big and do necessitate much cutting. Go smaller. I'll install my 2.75" units when weather gets warmer.

    so am I to assume...

    that only the 2.75" lights will fit without any cutting? I have been planning on going projection in those little holes there, even had some nice '92-'95 civic fog lights in mind... So, is 3" not going to fit without "customizing" my bumper?
